Abstract:

"Pete Hamill is for many the living embodiment of New York City. He has known Manhattan's streets and many of its people for seven decades. For four of them, he has been a newspaperman, chronicling its triumphs and tragedies. In Downtown, Hamill leads us on an unforgettable journey through the city he loves, from the island's southern tip to Times Square, combining a moving memoir of his days and nights in New York with a passionate history of its most enduring places and people. Hamill weaves his own memories of Manhattan with the liveliest moments from its past, and points out the hints of that past living on in the city of today, fueling the ever-present nostalgia of its inhabitants. Through the city's transformations, the pulse of Pete Hamill's brilliant voice melds with the pulse that drives New York-- that mixture of daring, greed, anger, rebellion, hope, entrepreneurialism, and longing that never fades. Downtown is an extraordinary celebration of the magnificent, haunted place that Hamill continues to call home, and that people from all over the country and the world have come to call their own"--Container.
